Saint Vitus' Cathedral, Prague. ca. 1950.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79261299

Sudek's photos document the exterior and interior of St. Vitus' Cathedral (10th c. dedication, rebuilt in 14th c. under Charles IV and completed in 1929; adjoins Hradčany Castle). The State Publisher of Literature, Music and Arts (Státni Nakladatelství Krasne Literatury, Hudby, a Umeni) planned a monograph on the cathedral in the early 1950s for which Sudek was commissioned as photographer. Communist cultural policy prevented publication because the book's subject was considered to be exclusively religious.
